Perfect, there is a very easy way to do this....
Add a list to a list (BYOB).
But I'm not sure how it would be displayed if not that.
This would be perfect for tile based games
Yeah, but notice that this was posted 7 months ago...
So? It's still a good idea! I sill support!

Re: 2-D Arrays
Check Out my Project "2d List", It is kinda inconvenient, but it works

Re: 2-D Arrays
Despite the age of this topic, I certainly give my full support
I think archmage suggested we call them "tables" - that would be a great idea to "Scratch"-ify this idea 
"Multidimensional arrays" sounds really confusing, "Tables" does not

Good idea. But what would we do to Variables? The name could be confusing.

Well, I think variables are already simple enough, and already have a reasonably established presence among Scratchers that they don't need to be changed. Plus, they're used in pretty much every program one could possible write; it might get confusing when Scratchers move along to more conventional programming languages and discover that whatever they thought variables were didn't exist...
Meanwhile, arrays (lists) are not a requirement in every program, and therefore can be simplified within reason. I've rarely had to use multidimensional lists before, in any of my programming endeavours, and therefore I find it can be simplified, too.

Calling arrays "lists" is much more friendly (and makes more sense 
) - I think the same with 2D arrays and "tables".

Re: 2-D Arrays
I don't care that this is a necropost. xP
This was just suggested again. Anyone want to go support that?
